"No promises there, big guy. Hey, but what if she, like, comes on to me?"

"Uh...what's a "sending"? Are we going somewhere?"

"Every blitzer knows: when you got the ball, you gotta score!"

[telling Yuna not to worry about the future] "When you're playing blitzball, you gotta think about blitz and nothing else. If you do, that's when you lose."

[after escaping from Bevelle]We escaped with our skins intact, but Yuna lost something. I could already tell, her faith was shaken. Yevon had betrayed her. I felt like I should do or say something—anything... But nothing came. I was just as lost as she was.

I wanted to see Yuna’s statue too. But I wanted to see it...with Yuna by my side.

"Yeah, that's right! You can always count on Auron to complicate things!"

[talking about Sin's (Jecht's) arrival at Operation Mi'ihen] "So he killed all those people just for a chance to see me?!"

[after escaping Macalania Temple] "Praise be to Yevon." That's what I would have said, if I was a follower of Yevon. We were all there, and in one piece. Even if I had a headache from wondering what was in store for us next.

"Oh, sure! Soon! Like 'tomorrow' soon, I bet!"

"Err, 'helly doo sad wee' to you, too."

People die, Yuna dances.

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA

[finding out that the Final Aeon will kill Yuna] "And I've been telling Yuna—'Let's go to Zanarkand together!' 'Let's beat Sin!' I told her all the things...we could...we could...and all along the whole time, I didn't know anything! But Yuna, she'd…just smile."

"Let's go to the sea, before sunrise. The city lights go out, one by one, the stars fade, then the horizon glows, almost like it’s on fire. It's kinda rose-colored, right? First the sea, then it spreads to the sky, then to the whole city. It gets brighter and brighter till everything…glows. It’s really pretty. I know you'd like it."

"I give up. So what would an adult do, then? They know they can just throw away a summoner, then they can do whatever they like."

"This is my story. It'll go the way I want it...or I'll end it here!"

[trying to open the Chamber of the Fayth] "You can stuff your taboos!"

[after Seymour vanishes] Sin will be right behind you."

[before the final battle] "I know it sounds selfish, but this is my story!"

[last words] "Yuna, I have to go... I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand... Goodbye!"

[last words to Jecht] "You know...for the first time, I'm glad...to have you as my father."

I only have as many guardians as there are people I can trust. I trust them all with my life! To have so many guardians is a joy, and an honour! Even more so than being my father's daughter. Of course, I would never think of questioning your ways, either. So, Lady Dona, I ask of you: please leave us in peace.

He called it the 'Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III'.

Don't say that. It might be a hopeless campaign, and it might mean defying Yevon... But the Crusaders and the Al Bhed-they're doing their best to defeat Sin. They want to rid Spira of Sin forever. And that's just what we want, too, isn't it? Isn't it?

I fight for Spira. The people long for the Calm. I can give it to them. It's all I can give. Defeating Sin, ending pain... this I can do.

And when you refused to let me become a summoner and I did it anyway...I'm sorry. I've always wanted to apologize. You know, when you tried to stop me then-really, I was happy. I could tell you really cared about me. You were like my big brother and sister. No... I think you really were my big brother and sister.

To Wakka and Lulu in her "goodbye sphere"

Maester Seymour. I trust my guardians with my life. But they are also my friends. I will not stand by and watch them be hurt. I will fight you, too!

It would be so easy...to let my fate just carry me away...following this same path my whole life through. But I know...I can't. What I do, I do...with no regrets.

My father... my father wanted... to make Spira's sorrow go away. Not just cover it up with lies!

I live for the people of Spira, and would have gladly died for them, but no more! The Final Summoning is a false tradition that should be thrown away.

My father... I loved him. So I... I will live with my sorrow, I will live my own life! I will defeat sorrow, in his place. I will stand my ground and be strong. I don't know when it will be, but someday... I will conquer it. And I will do it without... false hope.

Everyone has lost something precious. Everyone here has lost homes, dreams, and friends. Now, Sin is finally dead. Now, Spira is ours again. Working together, now we can make new homes for ourselves, and new dreams. Although I know the journey will be hard, we have lots of time. Together, we will rebuild Spira. The road is ahead of us, so let's start out today. Just, one more thing... the people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded... Never forget them.

Ending speech, last lines in the game

I've... learned how to smile... Even when I'm feeling sad.

If we should get separated, just whistle. I'll come running. I promise.

Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

Once Lady Yuna fixes her hair, we leave.

After Yuna, who has woken up late with her hair disheveled, notices that even he was laughing at her.

Guard your emotions first, then guard your summoner.

About Cid and his airship

Outside the dream world, life can be harsh--even cruel, but it is life.

We will protect Yuna from anyone-even a Maester.

to Wakka after Tidus passes by, about Seymour.

Summoners challenge the bringer of death, Sin, and die doing so. Guardians give their lives to protect their summoner. The fayth are the souls of the dead. Even the maesters of Yevon are unsent. Spira is full of death... only Sin is reborn, and then only to bring more death. It is a cycle of death, spiraling endlessly.

Every story must have an ending.

Don't look to others for knowledge. This is your story.

Enough!

(Before killing last enemy)

Farewell!

(End of Battle Exclamation)

What a waste!

(If the party is wiped out)

Think later, Yuna!

(Starting a battle while Yuna is considering Seymour's proposal)

Pray! Now!

( Before Executing Overdrives)

Some can't wait to die!

When executing his overdrive for the first time.

Your pain shall be two-fold!

That's how it's done!

Winning a battle

You remind me of myself. Before, the closer we got to Zanarkand, the more I wondered. When we arrived, Braska would call the Final Aeon. He would fight Sin, then die. I thought my mind was made up long before, but as I stood here my resolve wavered.

After battle with Sanctuary Keeper and after Wakka remarks about traveling a long way.

Ha! Legendary guardian? I was just a boy. A boy about your age actually. I wanted to change the world too, but I changed nothing. That is my story.

Also after battle with Sanctuary Keeper, after Wakka comments about legendary guardians choking. (Metaphorically.)

Ten years ago...I honored Jecht's last words, and travelled to Zanarkand. I planned to stay there, watching over you. But when Sin attacked Zanarkand that day, I changed my mind. Outside the dream world, life can be harsh - even cruel. But it is life. He wanted you to have a shot at life. I saw it in Sin's eyes. That's why I brought you here, to Spira.

Long time ago, there were a whole lot of cities in Spira. Big cities with machina-machines-to run 'em. People played all day and let the machina do the work. And then, well, take a look. Sin came, and destroyed the machina cities. And Zanarkand along with 'em. Yeah, that was about a thousand years ago, just like you said. If you asked me, Sin's our punishment for letting things get out of hand. What gets me, though...is we gotta suffer, 'cause of what some goofballs did way back when! 'Course, we must always repent for our sins! That's important! It's just that, it's hard to keep at it sometimes, you know?

This is the only time! The players fight with all their strength: the fans cheer for their favorite team. They forget pain, suffering... Only the game matters! That's why blitz has been around for so long. Least that's what I think.

On blitzball as an escape from Sin.

Du-u-u-u-de! Our Team is gonna rock, ya?

After Tidus accepts Wakka's invitation to join his Blitzball team

Nope, we got a new goal now! Our new goal...is victory! To win every match, defeat every opposing team! To bring the Crystal Cup back to our island! That's all we need to do to win! Easy, ya?

Those sand-blasted grease monkeys!

In reference to the Al Bhed.

We were just worried you guys might've gone crazy!

A summoner with bed hair! What's the world comin' to?

Why build a city over a river, ya?

During the trip across the Moonflow.

This can't be happening...

Laughing weakly before the first battle with Seymour.

Boom! Like happy festival fireworks, ya?

Attempting to cheer Rikku up after Home is destroyed

Why didn't I just shut my big mouth...?

When his attempt to cheer Rikku up fails

Disappear on us, will ya? Rotten son of a shoopuf!

To Grand Maester Mika

She'll tell us when she's ready, so just hold your chocobos until then, ya?

To Tidus after he finds him sneaking around in Yuna's room at Rin's Travel Agency (Thunderplanes).

Let's give Rikku a kick in the butt and go, eh?

In reference to Rikku's refusal to leave the Thunder Plains Travel Agency because of her fear of lightning

Hustle!

SON OF A SHOOPUFF!

It's over!

(End of Battle Exclamation)

Traitors, coming through!

(Quote after starting a battle)

This can't be happening...

(repeated line as he learns of Seymour's true intentions and realizes that he must fight him, even though he is a Maester)

I can't believe we're gonna fight Lady Yunalesca! Gimme a break!

When we used to blitz together, Chappu used to say...he said that—when we win the cup ya?—he'd propose to Lulu. Then one day he goes off and becomes a Crusader. just like that!

To Luzzu after learning that he (Luzzu) was the one who convinced Chappu to enlist.

You truly are clueless. Are you sure it's just your memory that's the problem? The dead need guidance. Filled with grief over their own death, they refuse to face their fate. They yearn to live on, and resent those still alive. You see, they envy the living. And in time, that envy turns to anger, even hate. Should these souls remain in Spira, they become fiends that prey on the living. Sad, isn't it? The sending takes them to the Farplane, where they may rest in peace.

To Tidus when he asks about sendings.

Yuna chose her own path. She knew from the beginning what it meant. All we can do is protect her along the way. Until the end.

Amazing. Simply amazing. You make up one theory after another, refusing to face the simple truth. Sin didn't take Chappu anywhere. Sin crushed him and left him on the Djose shore! Your brother won't just pop back. Oh, and one more thing. No matter how much you want it, no one can take Chappu's place. No one can replace Sir Jecht, for that matter. And there's no replacement for Lord Braksa, either. It's pointless to think about it, and sad.

After Wakka suggests that Chappu might still be alive

I hope you hurt them.

To Yuna about her Al Bhed kidnappers.

Not the most... graceful win. If it was Chappu, he'd still be standing.

After Wakka helps his team defeat the Al Bhed Psyches, but is injured in the process.

You don't want to finish that sentence.

As Tidus is about to say that he doesn't think that Wakka would try to take Chappu's place.

After Wakka's failed attempt to cheer Rikku up after Home is destroyed

Did you...hit your head or something? [Tidus: Um, you guys hit me.] Oh, right... Do you remember anything before that?

Yeah, there is no Zanarkand anymore. Sin destroyed it a thousand years ago.

Sometimes, when I got a lot on my mind, it just helps to go, "AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Quiet!

Shouting at the lighting in the Thunder Plains

You know, don't you? Summoners journey to get the Final Aeon. Yuna told you, didn't she? With the Final Aeon, she can beat Sin. But then...but then...if she calls it, the Final Aeon's going to kill her! Even if she defeats Sin, it will kill Yunie too, you know!

I am Seymour Guado. I am honored to receive the title of maester. In life, my father Jyscal worked to foster friendship between man and Guado. I vow to carry on his legacy, and to fulfill my duties as maester to the best of my abilities.

Character’s opening lines

Why are you still here, sir? (pause as Auron looks at him) I beg your pardon. We Guado are keen to the scent of the Farplane.

To Auron, who is an unsent.

Ah, of course. "Protect the summoner even at the cost of one's life." The Code of the Guardian. How admirable. Well, if you're offering your lives, I will have to take them.

I have saved him. He was a man who craved power. And great power he had, but he feared losing it. Trembling at unseen enemies, he spent his days scheming petty schemes. Chased by his fears, never knowing rest. You see... Now he has no worries. He has been granted sleep eternal. Death is a sweet slumber. All the pain of life is gently swept away... Ah, yes. Don't you see...if all life were to end in Spira, all suffering would end. Don't you see? Do you not agree?

On Maester Wen Kinoc, whom he has killed.

But there is no salvation for the damned! Rest in peace in eternal darkness.

Death awaits you!

Unpleasant. Very well. I will give you your death. You seem to want it so.

After Kimahri stabs him (as an unsent) with his spear, to little effect.

You would oppose me as well? So be it!

Spoken if Yuna summons Anima against Seymour in the last battle. Anima's fayth is Seymour's mother, who wants the party to stop him.

Even after I am gone, Spira's sorrow will prevail...

Seymour's last words

Feel my pain! Come, Anima!

By all means, try! You should thank me! Your death means your father's life!

Sin is cursed. Sin prays. It curses its form, it prays for dissolution. Sin sees dreams of its own destruction. Sin is looking at us. We live in a fading echo of time left us by the destroyer. Free him from Yu Yevon. Free him....the fayth that has become sin.

When party revisits her chamber.

Fayth of Shiva

Should the dreaming end, you too will disappear...fade into Spira's sea, Spira's sky. But do not weep, nor rise in anger. Even we were once human, that is why we must dream. Let us summon...a sea in a new dream world. A new sea for you to swim.

When party revisits her chamber.

Fayth of Yojimbo

You are a fading dream, but one that has been touched by reality. Run, dream. Run on into the daylight. And walk into reality.

If the party doesn't offer a substantial amount for Yojimbo's services.

Maester Yo Mika

Men die. Beasts die. Trees die. Even continents perish. Only the power of death truly commands in Spira. Resisting its power is futile.

Ever the Ronso. Hard-headed, hardly useful.

Maester Wen Kinoc

Meh... enlightened rule by the dead is preferable to the misguided failures of the living.

Being a Maester has its privileges. I can just sit here and watch.

Yunalesca

They chose to die, because they had hope.

To Auron about Braska and Jecht

Hope is comforting. It allows us to accept fate, no matter how tragic it might be.

Yevon's Teachings and the final summoning give the people of Spira hope. Without hope, they would drown in their own sorrow. Now choose. Who will be your fayth? Who will be the one to renew Spira's hope?

Poor creature. You would throw away hope? Well... I will free you before you can drown in your own sorrow. It is better to die in hope than to live in despair. Let me be your liberator.

Immediately before attacking the party.

Bobba, the Blitzball announcer

Well, well, well! If it isn't the Besaid Aurochs! They're a living, breathing, statistical impossibility! I've never seen a team this bad!

The Besaid Aurochs have not won a game in 23 years.

Luzzu

See? Keep your head down, say "sir" a lot, and you'll do fine.

Chappu also said to me... That being with your girl is good... But keeping Sin far away from her is better.

After Wakka reveals that Chappu had considered proposing to Lulu before joining the Crusaders.

Gatta

Young Crusaders gather 'round! We'll beat Sin into the ground!

Braska

I appreciate your feelings Auron, but I am here to kill grief itself.

After Auron begs with him not to go through with the Final Summoning.

Cid

I won't tell ya to be careful. Do your worst, kiddo!

No mistakes, or I'm gonna tear out that mop you call hair!

If she continues this fool pilgrimage, she will die! Sure as if you killed her yourself. No haired-brained law or teaching can send my little niece to her death! When I save her, I'll make her give up being a summoner quicker than a desert melts ice!

To Auron about Yuna.

With all this Yevon taboo on machina, we're running around in the dark here! Ain't it a rush, kiddos?

Wakka: Yuna! What? This is no times for jokes, ya? He may be a blitzball whiz kid, but up against fiends, he's a newbie.

Yuna: Not a guardian, then... I just want him nearby.

Tidus: Who are you, anyway? You knew my old man, didn't you?

Auron: Yeah.

Tidus: And you also knew Yuna's father?

Auron: That's correct.

Tidus: Hey, man, there's no way. That's just impossible.

Auron: Nothing impossible about it. Jecht, Braska, and I...together, we defeated Sin, ten years ago. Then I went to Zanarkand, where I watched over you, so that one day, I could bring you to Spira.

Tidus: Why did it have to be me?

Auron: Jecht asked me to.

Tidus: ...Is he alive?

Auron: It depends on what you mean by "alive". He is...no longer human. But then, I could feel something of Jecht there in that shell, didn't you? You must have felt him when you came into contact with Sin.

Tidus: [yells in frustration] What am I supposed to say?! You tell me it's my decision! But I don't have a choice, do I?! You're the only one who can tell me what's going on here, anyways! I have to go with you! I have to!

Auron: Irritating, I know. Or are you afraid?

Tidus: They say Seymour went to Macarena Temple.

Wakka: Macalania Temple.

Tidus: Aye?

Wakka: [to Rikku] How come you speak Al Bhed? [to Tidus] Why?

Tidus: Uh, well...

Rikku: Because...I'm Al Bhed, and that...was my brother.

Wakka: [to Tidus and Lulu] You knew? Why didn't you tell me?

Lulu: We knew you'd be upset.

Wakka: [disgusted] This is great! I can't believe I've been traveling with an Al Bhed! A heathen!

Rikku: You're wrong! We have nothing against Yevon!

Wakka: But you Al Bhed use the forbidden machina! You know what that means? Sin was born because people used machina!

Tidus: Now, hold on just a minute! Seymour's the bad guy, right? We'll just explain to everyone what happened!

Auron: It won't be that easy. Let's get out of here.

[Pacce runs towards Tidus]

Pacce: Hey, um... what's "Sacrificed"? The Al Bhed said summoners were being "sacrified." That summoners shouldn't have to do a pilgrimage...

Tidus: Why couldn't... they trust Guardians to protect the summoners? The Al Bhed had no right stopping their pilgrimage!

Rikku: The Pilgrimages have to stop! [The image focuses on Rikku] If they don't, and they get to Zanarkand...

(beat)

Rikku: They might defeat Sin... Yunie could... but then she... Yunie will die, you know?! You know, don't you? Summoners travel to get the Final Aeon. Yuna told you, didn't she? With the Final Aeon, she can beat Sin. But then... but then... if she calls it, then the Final Aeon's gonna kill her! [her voice breaks] Even if she defeats Sin, it will kill Yunie too, you know?!

[Rikku falls to her knees, on the verge of tears, everyone is silent.]

Tidus: Was I the only one... who didn't know? [Tidus grabs Rikku by the shoulders] Tell me why! Why were you hiding it?! Why didn't I know?!

Wakka: We weren't hiding it.

Lulu: It was just... too hard to say.

[Auron and Kimahri look at Tidus, silently]

Tidus: DAH!![Tidus falls prone, and starts hitting the ground in grief] Lulu... How could you? HOW COULD YOU?! ISN'T SHE LIKE A SISTER TO YOU?! I thought you were family! WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING, WAKKA?!

Lulu: Don't you think we tried to stop her?! She follows... her heart.

Wakka: Yuna, she knew what she was doing... when she chose to become a summoner... to face Sin, ya! Yuna knew!

Rikku: But, Wakka, that's just totally wrong! Summoners shouldn't have to sacrifice themselves... just so the rest of Spira can be happy, right?

Isaaru: A world without Sin... A world without Sin. That is the dream of all Yevon's children, and we will use that power even if it means our lives! [Maroda and Pacce run towards Isaaru, as he summons Grothia, his Ifrit, and Dona summons Valefor]

Tidus: Ugh... Ghh... Rrrrghh.... gyuuuu... [Tidus runs towards Valefor, and starts punching her torso] And I've been telling Yuna... "Let's go to Zanarkand together", "Let's beat Sin!" I told her all the things we could- we could... AND, ALL ALONG, THE WHOLE TIME, I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING!! [Tidus falls to his knees, consumed by grief] Ugh... but Yuna, she'd... she'd... just smile. [Valefor tries to cradle Tidus in her wings, before the screen fades to white.] I can't let her die... I'LL FIND HER!!
